should the president fire someone over obama care failures? right now, 66% of you say yes. 34% say no. >> the debate will continue online at cnn.com/crossfire. proudly from the left, i am van jones. >> more proudly from the right, i am s.e. cupp. join us monday for another edition of "crossfire." erin burnett "outfront" starts right now. "outfront" next. no man is an island. but don't tell that to barack obama. >> the truth of the matter is i'm accountable to the people who single me here. >> democrats and even the new york times turn on the president. plus, murder charges. >> this monster that killed my daughter -- >> the man who allegedly pull the trigger did not know the woman who appeared bloody and drunk at his door in the middle of the night. >> i can't imagine in my wildest dreams what that man feared from her. to shoot her in her face.

>> and it's not who you are underneath but what do you that defines you. >> please, caped crusader, we need you. and bring the bat kid. >> the bat kid saves the day for all of us. let's go "outfront." good evening. i'm erin burnett "outfront." the president alone. democrats in congress putting there votes where their anger is. more than three dozen voting with republicans today on a measure to permanently reinstate health care plans, canceled from obama care. the president says doing that undermines the whole premise of the health care lawful he is under pressure. even the new york times editorial page, a stalwart ally, it doesn't get any better than, that says it is uncertain how obama can win back the public's confidence. we begin our coverage with dana bash "outfront" on capitol hill.

>> reporter: 39 house democrats, 1/5 of the caucus defected and voted for a republican bill allowing people to deem health care policies. ron barber in a tough reelection campaign next year was one of them. >> i've been home meeting with constituents. this has been a topic of concern. i wanted to vote yes that i heard my constituents. that despite warnings from democrat leaders that they would dismantled obama care by not only allowing consumers to keep canceled policy buzz letting people sign up for new policy that's done meet new benefit requirements. >> that idea that it was helping consumers was sort of the trojan horse whose underbelly is poisonous with, in terms of the health and well being of the american people. >> your leadership says that your vote would undercut the entire obama care law. >> well, i don't see it that way. i think any fix we can make,

particularly when as problem arises is good for the people back home. the truth is i'm accountable to the people who single me here. >> the prospect of this gop vote is the maybe reason the president came out a day earlier with his own plan to reinstate canceled insurance policies. they say without that many more democrats would have defected. the gop bill still got significant bipartisan support and republicans were eager to pour salt on the president's political wounds. >> ask not what your country can do for you. the only thing we have to fear, tear down this wall. and our current president will be no different. if you like your health care plan, you can keep it. period. >> the president issued a veto threat but erin, it probably won't get that far. in the senate there are a fair number of democrats who want to push legislation, who want to tell their constituents that they're trying to fight for them like they did in the house. but leaders who run the senate

and the democrats, that is, they want to hold off because they want to give the president's plan a chance to work. >> dana bash, thank you very much. "outfront" now, ohio's loonlt governor mary taylor who also serves for the ohio department of insurance. the president met with personnel today 2. a closed door, we don't know what went on. they did release this. >> we know the demand is out there for that. we had despite all the problems with the website, over a million people apply. many multiples of that wanted to see what options were available. >> he said we know the demand is out there. is that true in ohio? >> well, unfortunely, i don't think that we're seeing that. if you look at the actual numbers of individuals who slaektd plan on the exchange, in ohio, it is 1150 individuals out of a population of about 11.5 million people.

it is also important to keep in mind, they didn't necessarily complete that last step which is paying for the plan. so it is selecting and paying for the plan that actually means you've enrolled. >> so what i've been trying to understand so hard all this week, what obama care will do to costs, whether obama care will work and whether this quote/unquote fix of allowing people to keep their plans is a pipe dream or has a chance of being true. let me throw some number at and you please tell me what's happening in high high. according to a study which bloomberg news reported which i saw, i thought this gave a real sense of the number. premiums for people who sign up for obama care will go up an average of 26%. co-pays for doctors, 46%, generic drug co-pays, 76%. what about in ohio? >> in our individual market our estimates show that premiums will go up on average 41%. that's just the premium cost. that doesn't include the additional out of pocket expenses like co-pays and deductibles which i think is

part of what's creating sticker shock for some of the ohio consumers when they look at the overall out of pocket costs. it is significantly more under obama care than it was in our existing market. >> so 41%. that's pretty significant. does that mean you like the fix the president proposed which would allow ohioans to keep their plans and not be subject to a 41% increase in premiums? >> of course we like for ohioans to have choice and for consumers to choose what it is, the type of coverage they like. that's what we had before obama care. we're concerned about the announcement yesterday. it creates more uncertainty in an already chaotic insurance market. we're concerned that it will hasten the pace for which premiums will go up in 2015 and beyond. >> you're going to be the one that decides whether insurers can go along with this. yes, you can sentence your plan. are you going to allow them to do that? >> yes.

we will work with company that choose to continue coverage that existed in the marketplace this year. and as soon as we hear from them, we're prepared to start working with them. >> let me ask you, we've been a little obsessed with the young, governor, we know the math. we've talked about how many are staying on their parents' plans instead. right? that's 15 million young people who are staying on their parents' plans. not going to the obama care exchanges where they're needed. in ohio the number were 1150 people signed up in that first month. less than 10% the federal government was hoping for. a lot of that is because of the website failures. can you tell us how many are under the age of 35? or are we looking at older, sicker people? >> we don't have the exact number. in our conversations with the company, the majority of that 1150 are individuals who are sicker. it is the opposite effect that we need in order for obama care to be successful. >> all right.

thank you very much. alone governor taylor, we appreciate your taking the time. trying to get the reporting and the number. those are some pretty grim numbers. "outfront," paul begala, i'm going to give you a chance to respond to what the loonlt governor just said. and she's a republican, okay in she was sharing numbers. she's saying older people are signing up. not younger and premiums will go up 41%. how in the world is that going to work? >> well, first off premiums are not going up. she's wrong. i've already gotten rebates. million of americans have gotten rebates because of obama care. >> how do you know she's wrong? here are the facts. >> she's an elected politician. she's an elected politician. she's going to say whatever she needs to say to advance her political agenda. maybe she believes it. my point is we have the slowest rate of increase for health inflation since obama care pass that had we've had cynic we started measuring this. this stuff is already working.

the website is terrible. it is awful. for 85% of us who already have insurance, this is a stone winner without ever going on race because of the medical loss ratio. i've already gotten a rebate. because of the changes in medicare, women in medicare now get mammograms. the doughnut hole has closed. i can keep my college age kid on my account until he's 26. lots of good reform. this has been good for cost. not bad. that's the real numbers. >> interesting point. i know you're going on say part of the reason costs have been in check is the economy which is good. >> what about the point, obviously i don't want to get into an argument in the numbers with ohio. we have to go on the facts that she's giving us. obviously paul is skeptical of her point of view. this does go along with the study i just showed which shows you'll see dr. co-pays and premiums go up. >> yeah. i think that it is going to vary

dramatically from state to state because different states have different insurance regulations. in a state like new york state, you will see some decreases in what people will see on the individual market. in most other states you will see pretty substantial increases. in the premium that's people will be paying. and again that depends on your health status and many other characteristics. that i think the picture is not as rosie as i think he thinks it is. a little better in some states but in most spots, people are really seeing rate shock. this is not made up. this is not imaginary. it is a real issue that's affecting a lot of people. that doesn't mean the idea behind the law wasn't admirable but it does mean there are a lot of big issues that people will be struggling to fix and it will take years. >> maybe the whole could not semiof providing insurance for everybody at a lower cost was not possible. and it will cost more. that is a moral conversation. >> you have to acknowledge the costs. >> all of us who may by the rule and pay for insurance have built in on average a 1,200 tax that i

already pay for these young invincible who's don't carry health insurance and then crash into a treex we're already paying in the most bass ackward way we can. once you get universal coverage, that's hoyt works. as you keep point, the better it is. >> paul, let me ask you, the headlines that came out today and what's happening to the president are pretty grim. the new york times, health care laws, rollout stumbles, draw parallels to bush's hurricane response. the katna response, health law shakes the presidency. the "washington post." obama care's troubling fix. fix put in quotes. is it possible for the president to recover? i want to know, this whole issue is happening a year earlier in this president's second term than monica lewinsky affair happened for president clinton. >> which drove clinton to 71% approval. >> a fair point.

can obama turn this around? >> of course he will. this is the two things media does. we ignore and it then overreact to it. let me read you a quote. this week we can talk about, is the presidency over? now i don't want to say the name but that was a national network news anchor said that on the 11th day of the clinton presidency. clinton went on to serve another 2,900 days. this is what we. do like katrina, my pal and colleague, she had family members who lost everything in katrina. and she said this is disgusting. 1833 people lost their lives in katrina. this is bad, a political problem for the president. a technological problem. i wish there had been more accountability here. i think hhs has screwed this up but you can't compare it to hurricane katrina. >> what do you think? is the hurricane katrina comparison, i guess i see paul's point. in terms of what did it to the bush presidency and how he lost the legitimacy, the credibility.

"the new york times" says he does not have with his constituents. is it a fair comparison? >> i think hurricane katrina might not be the best analogy. think about iran could not rax if you see president obama's approval ratings, they ten to be a lot higher. a lot of americans just like president obama because they trusted president obama. and i think what has happened now with obama care is that it seems as though the president has not been leveling with people and i think that a lot of that trust the people had, they thought he is not doing a great job with the economy. but we still trust the guy. that i think might erode. i'm not sure it will erode but i think it might be what happens. another thing is this is a big, big undertakinundertaking. i think no matter what this will distract president's frangs a whole lot of other priorities. i think in that sense, i think it is fair to say that the rest of this president's presidency will be all about obama care and putting out fires around obama care. maybe that will be worth it in

the end. >> maybe it will be because quick final question to you. the other thing the president keeps saying, costs will go down for most people. maybe he's right over time. i look at people who work for big companies who have those cadillac plans. a lot of those people who work for those companies do not earn a lot of money. they earn $35,000 themselves wouldn't get six dis. they're single will their costs are going up 20% to pay for those other people. these are people who are not wealthy. whose costs are going up. that is not something that anybody said would happen. people's expectations here are being dramatically, they're falling short. >> well, that may be. first off, t the six disgo all way to 96,000 a year. that's a pretty good living with medium income at 50. first off, costs will always go up. health care inflation has been the biggest problem in our economy over time. we're now, 17, 18% of our gdp

in. >> 15. >> nobody else is in double digits exempt the canadians and they're at 11. so we're spotting the whole world. the president got into this to say, we're going to bend the cost curve. sir, if it is a curve it is already bent but i know what you mean. slow down the rate of growth. nobody ought to promise it will be cheap or free. but this is already having a tremendously beneficial effect. it is slowing the rate of growth and the most important thing government can do. >> we shall see. whether it works or not. thanks to both of you. still to come, accident or murder. plus toronto's city council tries to rein in the mayor. and buying marijuana at a

accidentally shot her. her family said she was looking for help after crashing her car. we want you to understand the whole story. this is a fascinating story. >> reporter: was the man who shot her in her face through his locked screen door in fear of his life? not according to prosecutors. now charging theodore with second-degree murder, manslaughter with intend but not malice and a weapons count. >> i am saying we do not believe he acted in lawful self-defense. >> reporter: on november 2nd, a couple hours before she was killed, mcbride crashed her car. about two hours later, at 4:30 in the morning, several blocks from the accident scene, police say she appeared on wafer's front porch where he fired a single shotgun blast through locked screen door killing the 19-year-old. mcbride was drunk. nearly three time the legal limit in michigan.

yet prosecutors say, it did not play a role in charging wafer. >> we don't feel it is relevant at all in this case. >> reporter: prosecutors also rule out race playing a role. police say wafer told them his shotgun went off accidentally. that he heard noises and thought someone was breaking in. mcbride's family wonders why he didn't just call police. that their daughter likely just wanted help from a stranger. and wound up losing her life. >> i can't imagine in my wildest dream what that man feared from her. to shoot her in her face. >> he shot her head off through a screen locked door. >> this monster that killed my daughter. i hope he spends the rest of his life in jail. >> at his first court appearance after turning himself in, wafer appeared stoic. he pleaded not guilty. he is describe by his lawyers as an airport work we are the highest security clearance who cares for his 81-year-old mother

and his brother. neighbors have described him as low key and law-abiding. he now faces the legal fight of his life. susan candiotti, cnn, new york. under michigan law, there is no duty to retreat when you're in your own home. but a person has to show they honestly and reasonably believed there was imminent danger of losing his or her life or suffering great bodily harm in order to face self-defense. do the charges add up? as we said, this happened november 2nd. here we are. "outfront," criminal defense attorneys and cnn legal analysts. let me start with you. the prosecutor waited nearly two weeks to bring the charges them came after protests. it might seem there is pressure to satisfy the public. bring charges because people demanded charges. do you think this warranted second-degree murder or did

public opinion play a role? >> no. this is a classic castle doctrine case. this isn't about stand your ground. it may not really be about self-defense. in michigan the law is clear. there is a rebutable presumption. if somebody is breaking into your house, that the defendant believes someone is breaking into his house, he has a reasonable fear that deadly force is about to be used against him. that is the law. it seems to me pretty clearly that under michigan law, this case shouldn't have been brought. it is an extension of castle doctrine. like you said, every american has a right to come to the door as long as they're within their own home with a fire article. like it or not. >> the thing is, the doctrine means defending your own home. you have a right to do that. when there are sign of forced entry which there were no sinls of in this case. >> danny could not be any more wrong in this. you have a man who is secure in his home when someone is knocking at the door. then you need to call 911.

you don't just open up the door which is what did he, leaving the screen door locked and open up with a deadly firearm. that is ridiculous. it is not the castle doctrine at all. it is not stand your ground. it is second-degree murder. it is manslaughter. and that i think the government charged appropriately. we have to remember they did take at least two weeks to investigate. when the police first wanted to charge him and brought the case to the government, kim worthy, whom i happen to know, we went to the same law school. she is a very thorough prosecutor. she said no, no, let's continue the investigation. they waited for the toxicology reports to come back before they charged this case and i think it is wholly appropriate. >> does it matter though? i think you know these charges are too aggressive. the victim was drunk, high, she had blood on her. it is 4:00 in the morning. that could be scary, although this guy was a lot bigger than she was and in the safety of his own home. but does her physical condition

is that relevant? >> it goes to whether the defendant, whether she behaved in a way that gave the defendant reason to believe she was trying to get into the home. that's why those facts are so critical. a lot of the other stuff is just window dressing. despite what sonny says which is interesting from a discussion perspective, but under michigan law it is clear. if the defendant believed someone is trying to enter their home, that becomes either a home invasion situation or an entry situation. and under the law, there is a rebutable presumption that the defendant believes that he was under lethal attack. >> that's ridiculous. i didn't realize we were in a coffee house. the bottom line here, erin and danny, the one thing we're not talking about, the he will fanlt in the room and no one wants to talk about it is the role of race. you're talking about detroit, you're talking about a white man, secure in his home. what does dough? he sees a 9-year-old black woman at his door and he uses a firearm and he shoots her in the

face. and no one ever stands up and says i'm afraid of black people. i'm a racist. i've never heard anyone say that. to suggest that race doesn't play a role and did not play a role in this case is ridiculous. we need to talk about it. these standing your ground cases. i think this is very much one of these racial profiling cases. >> thank you to both of you. and to all of you. let us know what you think. we want your point of view as this case continues. please tweet me. our third story is a groupon for marijuana. dispensaries are popping up around the country. the new webb is capitalizing on it. >> reporter: how popular is pot?

live. what kind of a deal is this? $300 including tax. sunday through went. >> that's a very good deal. that's about a $50 savings. >> reporter: he said he uses marijuana daily for headaches. he hnl heard of canis saver before we showed it to him. >> that's pretty cool. >> reporter: that kind of reaction that has turned the dispensary manage entire a believer. his shop was one of the first to subscribe. he has the coupons to prove people are finding the webb where he has posted deals on everything from marijuana infused apple crisp to the night row torch. >> we've actually, we had to reorder them and keep on selling them. wave profit margin on them. >> reporter: it is too early to tell whether it has staying power but its founder is only miss particular saying the site is making $3,000 a month. that's before marijuana is legal

and i think you so he will quenltly conveyed it. i know you've been reporting on the relief efforts. they were too slow. they weren't able to get food and people resorted to eating all kinds of horrific things. is it better? >> reporter: it is better, certainly. it is interesting to see what we left as yesterday. people putting telephone poles back up to get electricity. food being handed out. water being handed out from the back of trucks. what you would have liked to have seen happen on day two or three. but it was happening on day seven or so. yes, the government is there in evidence now. people flown in from across the country. helping people get their lives back together. i flew out on an enormous c-17 cargo plane that was full of filipino people trying to get out of. there there is nothing to support life will there is still debris all over streets.

the job of cleaning that up is massive. there are still bodies within that rubble. you can smell it. the job of protecting the corpses with the risk of disease is underway. there is a massive task ahead and nothing to support the community at this point apart from emergency food being handed out. the question is much less about the short term sustenance of those staying behind and more the medium term of how would you get people back to some sort of lifestyle that they can tolerate in the weeks and months ahead. when the international community's eyes come off that town, can they continue? and at the airport where they went so much time, plane coming in so regularly. so much material coming off. >> thank you very much. still to come, another strange turn in the toronto mayor drug scandal. one of the people who turn his back to him the other day. remember that? we'll show you the picture. and a story that will make you friday on a friday.

our fifth story, stripping toronto's mayor.

he is, it is about a leader who refuses to resign despite admitting he smoked crack. today the council overwhelmingly suspended his powers. in another show of defiance, ford says he will fight the council's decision. >> if i would have had a mayor acting the way i conducted myself, i would have done the exact same thing. i'm not mad at anybody. i take full responsibility. uniformitily, and i think anyone in my situation, like some people on council that got in some trouble, they had to get legal advice and defend themselves. i have to do that. >> "outfront," counsellor, thank you for being with us. this whole situation, i have to tell you covering it is surreal. it seemed funny, it seemed comedic, it seemed tragic. you've been one of ford's toughest critics. you're one of many in the city council who literally turned your back to him.

there you are. we're zooming in so people can see you turn your back. did you ever expect it would come to this? >> rob ford, voters didn't know what they were getting when they elected him to the mayor's politics. they should have. there was a drunk driving charge come opponent. there was a famous incident where he went ballistic at a hockey game and started verbally assaulting people in front of him and lied about it. he is a damaged individual. he was before he became mayor and he certainly is now. he is a very strange guy and we have to shoulder through this. >> allegations are growing. you're talking about something on the record before he even became mayor. now we're hearing about 500 pages. >> he's been like this for a while. >> drinking, driving, bringing a woman who look like an escort to his office. you've heard this but in case our viewers have not.

his lewd response to these allegations. >> the last thing was, olivia. it said i wanted to heat her [ bleep ]. i've never said that in my life. i would never document i'm happily married. i've got more than enough to eat at home. >> i always, when that happens, i'm sort of speechless. this is the mayor of the fourth biggest city in north america. can you get over what he said? >> no. it is vulgar. he is a power unto himself. luckily, the powers that council had invested in the mayor's office, not in mr. ford, the mayor's office, they have the power to pull back. that's what we're doing. containing the damage that he's hopefully not going to do to himself. we're containing the damage that co-do to is the city government. and we'll put him in a box. wait for the next election and hopefully we won't see him again. >> wait for the next election. that's amazing.

there is nothing you can do. >> we are, we evolved. unlike the united states. we did not have a revolution and we evolved where cities don't have the same powers as they do in the united states. we are creatures of what effectively are state governments, our provincial governments and we have got to weather this storm. the province can move in and act. but i'm not one of those people that likes having people from one town decide who the mayor in another town should be any more than i should decide who should be the mayor of on the wax we'll weather the storm and shun him. we'll isolate him and make sure he stop doing damage to the city. the real task that we now have as city is to start healing those neighborhoods where crack cocaine and gang violence are creating a problems in the city and make sure those families who are addict to crack or have young people in the crowd have opportunities to turn away from that lifestyle. we cannot continue as a society here, on this side of the border

or in your country, continue to criminalize and declare a war on drugs and not understand it as a medical issue. mr. ford is a very damaged individual. he needs help. he has a lot of privilege. a trust funnel, the mayor's office. a lot of people in this country and yours as well that don't have those advantages that are crying out for that help. and our job as elected officials is to provide that compassion and opportunities for people to make better choices with their lives and make sure the services needed comes into existence. that's the work in front of us as elected officials. >> thank you very much. still to come, a story we've been following from the beginning. a high school mascot. a sheikh.
